This comparison is like saying "if all we do is capture 1% of a huge market, we'll be millionaires!"
There's quite a bit more to it than simply saying "Build one fewer JSF boondoggle, please. We need to prop up [pet project X]." Considering that comparison is used hundreds of times daily, I might add... it's not exactly scalable.
The F-35 is a boondoggle to say the least but I actually think the ROI on it is considerably better than propping up SoundCloud.
